Jaehyun dreaded his return back home, cause he knew what he was going home to face, and what was in stock for him the second he laid a foot into that house—he dreaded it.
The male had stayed back late hours in school, just sitting down by the pool side, till it was time for the school to be cleared out of every individual. That was jaehyun's comfort place, it made him feel more at home than his actually home did.
The dark haired male slowly inserted his key into the keyhole of the entrance to the apartment he shared with his parents. He prayed silently that the man wasn't home yet. Just so he could have a sheer moment of peace before he started with his usual routine of rants and abuse, maybe he could even escape from it this time. As he stepped into the house the air thickened. Unfortunately all that hope the male had mustered up was lost.

*PHYSICAL ABUSE AHEAD*

Sitting at the dining table that was placed towards the left side at the end of the hallway, distanced about a meter away from the kitchen—and had apart of it leaning in abit towards the very long hallway, was the boys father—Mr jeong. With arms crossed, jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed to slit, radiating hostility. The man was furious to say the least—he was angry and irritated, it was a very vivid expression painted across the man's face.
Sitting opposite Mr jeong was his mum. Her gaze lingering and filled with unease, her mind raced with worse case scenarios—she was worried for her son.
Mr Jeong stood up, anger still very much vivid across his face. he approached the stiff male, who was fixated still at the entrance of the apartment. This wasn't a first, so jaehyun certainly knew what was next to come.
His father's gaze cold and calculating, pierced through him. And without any warning or hesitation, the angered man landed a slap across the boys face. The action earned a quick reaction from the boys mother as she took to her heels immediately, gasping at her husbands suddenly abuse towards her son—her heart ached, it wasn't the first time the man abused her son in this manner. But it was something she could not talk her husband out of. She had tried a few times to get him to stop, but was always accused of spoiling the boy, and being blamed for his constant failure by supporting his dreams.
She made her way towards her son, standing infront of him as a barrier to protect the male from any further abuse from his father.
{SAFE TO READ FROM HERE}🙃
"I have never asked much from you jeong yun-o", the boys father said, the feeling of dread creeping in like a shadow into the youngers mind, at the thought of his father using his full government name which the young male disliked more than anything in the world—as it reminded him of how his father used the name everytime he cursed the boy out or abused him. His father's voice low and menacing, sent shivers down his spine.
With a straight and a rather emotionless expression planted across Mr jeong's face, jaehyun kept his head down, almost hidden in the crook of his mother's shoulders. "I told you to give up on that stupid sport dream of yours and make better plans for your future. But did not heed to my advice?, No. And now look at what you've become", the father paused, eyeing the male in what seemed to be utter disappointment and disgust. He couldn't believe this was his own son, the only son he had. Who could not even uphold the family's name with pride.
"You better stop with this dilly dally healing process of yours and get your shit straight jeong yun-o, or else don't even think to look at me as your father anymore, and I'll gladly return the favour". His father said turning away and making his way towards the staircase of the apartment, before turning around to say one more thing. "I am highly disappointed in you jeahyun", the man said as he slowly disappeared out of sight from the two being who were now left alone in the middle of the apartment entrance hallway.
Low sobs filling the room as the young boy had now broken down into his mother's arms .
Jaehyun wasn't this fragile—he wasn't at all. It was not the fact that his father had yelled at him or slapped him across the face that had made the boy sob like a child. It was that he was constantly reminded of his dream crumbling at his feet. That was the only one regret the male had, he never regretted getting into sports and following hid dreams. All he regreted was neglecting the warnings of his doctor, and now he was left to suffer with a permanent shoulder injury that left him unable to follow his dream of becoming a professional athlete. The thought that he would never swim again left him a dreadful mess.
The dark haired male was starting to slowly calm down in his mother's embrace, as he heard her soft voice speak up. "Jaehyun honey?", the very lovely looking lady said to the boy who slowly brought his gaze up to meet his mother's worried eyes.
"I would never be disappointed in you. I love you for who you are, and I love you for following your passion. No matter what happens I'll still and forever be your mother okay?. I love you so much and I want you to know that whatever you choose, I'll always be there to support and care for you", the woman said cupping the tear stained boys face in her arm, the touch felt warm and comforting.
God he loved this woman, she was everything to him and the male wouldn't trade anyone else for her. He wouldn't want to know what it would feel like to loose such comforting embrace—the world would simply hold no meaning to him anymore. She was his world. "I love you too mom", The young male said, before pulling his mom back into another comforting hug, as he melted into her embrace.
"Mom I'll be heading out for a little bit, I need to clear my head", he could see a glimpse of worry expressed across her face and thought to reassure her. "Don't worry about me, I'll be going with mark. And I'll get back home safe", the young male said pulling out of his mother's embrace. With the look of worry still vivid on the woman's face, she was a bit hesitant to let him outside by this time, coupled with the thoughts of events that took place tonight. Who knew what he could do to himself?, only God knew when he would be back. But she did not want to rile anything up, plus he basically wasn't a teenager anymore, he was twenty one. And she understood he indeed needed to clear his head a little the way any young adult possibly could. She knew he was a strong young man who could take care of himself—he always did, just until this tragic event that messed him up a bit.
"Okay love, please be careful and come back early, there is some food in the microwave, eat that before you head out okay?". jaehyun nodded, departing from the embrace they shared, she peeked the male on the cheek and made her way upstairs towards the bedroom her and her husband shared.
Jaehyun made his way to the kitchen, taking his phone out of his pocket. He grabbed the food available in the microwave, he knew he had to clear his mind, and that involved drinking—a lot of it. He slowly began scrolling through his phone, checking if there were any party updates available for the night. And bingo, there it was a summer rave. He was glad it was summer break, whatever was waiting for him after that could wait, he'll figure it out later.
Jaehyun turned off his phone, chugged a little water down and began to make his way up the staircase.
He passed by his parents room not missing the current conversation they were having. "Don't you think your spoiling him too much love"(a/n I don't know his parents name🥲, I wanted to use that instead but oh well). His father's voice echoed through the empty upstairs hallway.
"You shouldn't have slapped him, that was a little too much, we talked about this ", jaehyun could pick up a faint glint of hurt in his mothers voice, which made the boy sad and angry. "Well he deserves it and I won't hesitate to do it again, if he keeps deciding to bring shame to the jeong name", that was the last thing the young male heard, before he stormed into his room to get himself ready to escape this hell he called a home.
He sighed and pulled out his phone once more, just like he promised his mom. He called his childhood friend mark, telling him about his plans for the night, and off course the male was up for a rave with his friend. But he had to let jaehyun know he would be coming along with his boyfriend donghuck, which didn't seem to be a problem for the dark haired male.
